Osprey

This guy just about drove me nuts. When I was at the north end of the beach, he would be at the south,. When I went to the south, he would fly off and then reappear at the north.

If he did pass over me while I was watching him, he would be quite high as in this case. When I was not watching and photographing waves, he would make a low level pass over me. Ggrrrrrrrr!!!!

Love the story! Madman with camera chasing osprey up and down the beach. Quite an image! 😄. And you caught him in the end!

[Pam Knowler]

I can see him laughing at you! This is such a familiar story to me - just switch the bird to red kites. They taunt me most days! Lol!

[Shepherdman]

And in our case switch the birds to buzzards for same story. Nice shot

Ha! My story too but, mine was only a Willie Wagtail on the ground & he drove me mad! Posted 19th today. I really like this in flight capture Terry.

[Merrelyn]

Yep, I'm sure that they have some kind of inbuilt anti-photographer sensor.

Nailed it :)

@gilbertwood Not really. The other shots were SOOC. This one was cropped to within an inch of its life and it is still a long way from filling the frame. The Osprey was miles away

@terryliv Still better than a blank blue sky :)
